Bellator 289 pre-event facts: Will Liz Carmouche stay unbeaten in Bellator?

The final Bellator event of the year takes place Friday with Bellator 289, which goes down at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., with a main card that airs on Showtime following prelims on MMA Junkie.

A championship doubleheader sits atop the card. In the main event, interim bantamweight champion Raufeon Stots’ (18-1 MMA, 6-0 BMMA) and Danny Sabatello (13-1 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) will meet in a title fight that also doubles as a semifinal matchup in the promotion’s 135-pound grand prix.

The co-headliner, meanwhile, will see Liz Carmouche (17-7 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) attempt to make her first women’s flyweight title defense when she runs it back with Juliana Velasquez (12-1 MMA, 7-1 BMMA), whom she beat for the title in controversial fashion earlier this year.
